The hidden trade-off
What iGMS's low price actually buys you
- Airbnb-focused origins — iGMS was built for Airbnb hosts; Booking.com and VRBO support is secondary
- No branded guest portal — guests from OTA stays never become direct relationships you can rebook
- Dynamic pricing is an add-on — no AI pricing included, requires third-party integration
- No upsell marketplace — no built-in way to sell in-stay services like spa, transport, or dining
- Tiered pricing by property count — costs scale with your portfolio just as you start growing

Honest Assessment
When might iGMS be the right choice?
iGMS might make sense if you:
When iGMS is the right call
- Only use Airbnb and have no plans to diversify
- Have just 1-2 properties and want their cheapest tier
- Are already invested in their Airbnb-specific features
- Don't need robust multi-channel management
But for property managers who want true multi-channel support and predictable pricing, Staying is the better choice.
